Veterans Climb Government Building, Call for Arrest of Bush
and Cheney
Impeachment movement challenges Bush at every turn

The enormous banner hanging from the National Archive building.

Five military veterans -- from Veterans for Peace -- are
occupying a 35-foot high ledge at the National Archive Building and have raised
a 22x8-foot banner reading, "DEFEND OUR CONSTITUTION. ARREST BUSH AND CHENEY:
WAR CRIMINALS!"

The veterans currently risking arrest have declared their
intention to stay on the ledge, fasting for 24 hours "in remembrance of those
who have perished and those still suffering from the crimes of the Bush
administration," according to a written statement.

On the ledge, the veterans have brought with them a portable
PA system, and they are broadcasting recorded statements from prominent
Americans for the impeachment and/or arrest of George W. Bush and Richard
Cheney. Other impeachment activists are at the entrance of the National Archives
distributing "Citizens Arrest Warrants" to those waiting in line.

This is the type of boldness that activists have displayed
across the country to bring much-needed attention to this movement.

Impeachment on the move

Every week and month, the Bush administration seems to add to
its long list of impeachable crimes. This month's crime: the handing over of
$700 billion of tax-payer dollars to his buddies on Wall Street. ImpeachBush.org
has launched a nationwide initiative called VoteNoBailout to stop Bush's bailout
legislation. \b Since yesterday, over 56,000 letters have been sent to Congress
saying the White House has no right to transfer the people's money to the
richest people in the country.\b0 The impeachment movement is exposing these
crimes on every front, raising the questions the corporate media won't, and
taking dramatic action when needed. From the Bush administration' s unspeakable
war crimes to the recent bankers' coup d'etat, the impeachment movement has been
at the forefront of the fight back.
